Uflirirso -sfrA'lEs rvATENTjoFl-lcs `The present invention relates to hairA curling devices and more particularly to a device to facilitatewinding of hair on curling rods used in ,the processcommonly known l, as the permanent wave process. y

An object of 'this invention is to provide a winding device which may be used in combination with conventional curlingv members,-

which is so constructedas to wind the hair on the curling members in l an even and tight manner. L Y

Another object of this invention is to provide'a device of this kind which is so con- *structed that `when the Winder has reached the end of the hair it will wind the ends of the hair about the curling member and hold the ends in ti ht position about the hair so as /to permit the winding of securin meansv about the ends `of the hair for curing the 2Q. ends of the hair' at the same time that the body-of the hairtis curled ,iA-further object of'this invention is to provide a device of this kind which is so constructed that it may beused for what is commonly termed back winding, so as to curl the hair between theA already curled portion and the head ofthe individual which portion has grown out in uncurled form.

A still further object of this invention is to rovide a device of this kind which will efect-ively curl the ends of the hair in what is termed ringlets during@ the one operation of curling the hair for'the'permanent wave.

Thenibove and various other objects and advanta es 'ofthis invention will in part be describe in and in part be understood from 45 device; f

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 3;

Figure 6 is a sectional-view taken on the lire'-B ofy Figure 3, and

Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary view 55 taken on the line 7-7 of Figure v5. Referring to the' drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 10 designates one-half ofa winder 60 ates the other or upper half of the Winder arrel, the half portions 10 land 11 being constructed in semi-cylindrical form so that when they are .placed together, a substantially cylindrical barrel will be formed. v The barrel sections 10 and 11 are hingedly secured together by a hinge 13 and the section 11 is 'proyided with a pivoted catch 12 A which engages in a keeper v14 on the section 70 10 so as to lock the two sections together. The c barrel sections 10 and 11 are eachprovided witha slidable guide member 151 th'e guide member 15 having an', outstanding lug 16 which engages in a longitudinally disposed groove 17 in the barrel sections 10 and 11, .4 and an expansible sprino 18 is mounted in the groove 17 and engages t eslug 16 so as to constantly urge the guide memberv 15 toward one end` of the barrelsections 10 and 11. Stop 80, lugs 19 are provided in the barrel sections 10 and 11 so as to limit the movement .of the guidefinember'l in'one direction. The barrel sections 10 and 11 are also provided adjacent the central portion thereof with inward- 35' ly extending flanges 2'0 which enga e the free edges of the guides 15 so as" to old these guides 15 against rotar movement orwithdrawal from'thebarre sections 10 and 11. The guides 15 are'constructed in substantial- 90 ly semi-cylindrical form having a transverse- 1y disposed supporting portion 21 which is provided with a substantially semi-circular recess 22 for receivin the periphery of a curler rod and a pair o vcrossed resilient supporting members 23 are secured at one end to the transverse member 21 and the o posite end4 is free, these springs or resi 'ent members 2,3 being adapted to permit the use of curling rods of various sizes and to hold 15, but having a lug 25 extending forwardly l and downwardly therefrom. and slidably engaging in a. groove or slot 26, and is constantly urged rearwardly by means of an eX- panding spring'27 which is mounted within the slot 26. v

A'locking member 28 is slidably mounted on the exterior of the barrel section 11, this locking member 28 having an inwardl extending lug 29 at one end thereof whic engages thelug so that when the locking member 28 is moved longitudinally of the barrel section 11, the guide member 24 is moved forwardly and is held in aposition where one end thereof is flush with a recess 30 in one endof the barrel section 11. This I guidemember 24 will prevent the 'hair from winding into the body of the barrel sections 10 and 11 whenthe hair .is being wound outwardly from the head of the individual but when the hair is bein wound inwardly from the free ends'thereo the guide'memher 24 is released from its forward position,and the sprin vwill then urge the guide 24 rear- .war y so as to permit the hairto wind about the curler rbd within the interior of the barrel sections 10 and 11. This operation constitutes the back winding of the hainon the l curler" rod.- v

The,y guide 24 is also provided with centeri ing s rings 23 so as vto secure the curler rod within the barrel sections 10 and 11. [A plate 31is mounted on the barrel section'll at the 1 forward.y end thereof andcovers the major pprtion` of the spring slot 26 and the sprin The barrel section 10 at the forward end thereofis provided with a resiliently mounted lcurler engaging member generally designated as 32 which extends transversely of the barrel'section 10 and is provided with a cen trallydis osed and longltudinally extending recess 33 or engagement with the curler and the hail-.wound about Athe cur1erand a 34 constantly urges the late 32 inwardly an into engagement with the curler and thehair disposed about the; eriphery of the curler. yThe plate 32 is provi ed at the oppositeedges thereof lwith depending .flanges 35 which. I45,5 limit the inward movement of the'tensioning vmember 32. The tensioning member 32 is disposed oppositely of the slot 30in the.bar

A rel section 10,"and this barrel section 10 is P provided with a pivoted hair guiding member- :3 0 36,wl 1ich is .plvotally mounted on a lug 37 and a spring 38 engages the hair guiding member 36 so asto constantly urge this guidin member 36 into'open osition. v Thebarreis provided adjacent thb notch 'or recessed portion 30 with an outstanding lug or stop the rotation of the barrel sections 10 and 11 spring l guide 36 ina closed position.

When the guide 36 is in closed position, one

edge of theguide is disposed in spaced relation to the adjoining edge of the slot 30, Ythereby providingan elongated narrow slot which is provided so as to spread the bain out in a ribbon-like form for Winding on the curler rod mounted within the barrel sections 10 and 11. The stop member 39 is so constructed that when the hair guidingmember 36 is moved into closediposition, the lower face' of the member 36 will ride over the tapering surfaceof the stop 39 and be held in closedposition by the upstanding edge of the stop 36. V

In the use of this device, the curler rod 40 is attathed at one end inthe usual manner to the hair and thek hair is then passed through the recess 30 with the guide member 36 in open position.` v The barrel sections 10 and 11 will, of course, be opened so as to dispose ormount the curler rod 40 longitudil nally and concentrically of the barrel sections, whereupon the barrel sections 10 and 11 may be closed and locked by means of the latch member 12. The guide or hair spread- 'ing member 36 may then be moved to clqsed position so as to provide a relatively narrowy slot lor passageway for the hair which will 95 t spread the hair into wribbon-like form. The barrel sections 10 and 11 may then be rotated about the curler rod 40 until the entire length of the hair is wound npon the periphery of f Jthe curler rod. During the winding operation, lthe barrel sections 10 and 11\Will be moved longitudinally of the curler rod,vthe h air being` wound f on the rod in spiral-like form. s When 'the end of the hair is reached,

lmay be stopped and a section of string passed' through a string guiding member 41 which is mounted onl the pivoted v guidel member 36, one end of the string guiding member 41 being free and frictionally engaging the guide member 36 so as to permit the string tobe slipped beneath the V string holding-.member 41. The barrel sec-l tions 10 and y11 may then be further rotated about the curlery rod 40, which rotation will tightly windthe string about the free ends of ,the hair so as to hold the hair into contact with the peripher of the curler rod 40.A i

If desired, at t e same timethe string is being wound about the ends ofthe hair a gauze tape may be passed through the-,slot formed between ,theguide 36 `and the recess 1 30, and the barrel sections 10 and 11 rotated about the curler rod 40, which operation will not only wind the tape aboltJthe4 ends ofthe hair,'but wind the string onvtop of the tape. The tensioning member'32 will act to revent unwinding of the curler rodl40 with t e, hairl mounted thereupon so that the rotation of uthe barrel sections 10 and 11 may be stopped ma sol at any desired-point and the hair will not unv wind trom the curler-rod. This is of particular advantage when theL end of the hairlv isreached, as the tensioning member 32 will holdthe ends of the hair against the periphery of the curler rod 40 and permit the Winding of tape or string about the ends of the hair so as to bind the ends of the hair.

During the winding of the hair on the curler rod by means of the device herein disclosed, the -guide memberi24 is disposed with one end. adjacent the edge of the slot or cut out portion so as to prevent the hair being ,wound on the curler rod `from entering the 'body of the barrel sections 10 and'll. Through the use of this device, when the hair is being wound on the curler rod'40, the barrel sections 10 and 1'1 may be so rotated as to cause the hair being wound on the curler rod 20 to be wound in overlapped relation or in straight spiral form, depending on the/character of the curl which it is desired to form in 'thehain i When it is desired to back wind the hair, that is, to'start at theouter end of thehair and wind'the hair' on the curler rod 40 toward the'head of the individual, the free ends ofthe hair may be tied or wrapped on the curler rod and the barrel sections 10 and 1,1 disposed about the rod 40 with the guide member `24 in released position so as to permitthe hair to wind inwardly of the barrel sections 10 and 11 between the end of the released guide member 24 and the slot formed between'the pivoted'member 36 and the edge ofthe cut-'out portion 30. c A

It will be lobvious from the foregoing that an exceedingly simple winder has been disclosed lby means of which the Winder may be 40 4removably mounted about the curler rod, and f when the hair has been wound upon the curler rod, the Winder may be readily 'released therefrom and used von other curler rodssothat it is only necessary4 to use one curler rod for the winding operations.

By mounting the .guide members 15 in slidable relation with -respect to the barrelsections 10 and 11 when .the enlarged'end 42 of the curler rod is drawn inwardly of the barrel sections 10and 11, the enlarged end portion 42 will move the slidable guide members 15 inwardly coactive with the inward movement of the 'enlarged portion 42. This enlarged portion 42 is provided in certain curling rods for the purpose of tightening the hair upon the curler rod, particularly after the ends of P the hair have been secured about the rod. l

It is, of course, understood that"various changes 'and modifications may be made in the details -of vconstruction and design of the above speciiically ldescribed embodiment of this invention without departing from the. 4s irit thereof, such changes and modificatlons being restricted only by the scope of the 05 followingl claims.- Y
